Abstract

Due to the evolution of wireless communications technology, Long Term Evolution (LTE), which is a $4^{th}$ generation mobile communications system, has been adopted as a railway communications system. This LTE Railway (LTE-R) system is composed of various elemental functions, which are largely categorized into public safety and wireless communications for train control. Research on the public safety functions of railway communications have their roots in TRS based national public safety communication systems, and research on wireless communications functions for train control have their roots GSM-R, which is utilized by the ETCS in Europe. Based on these circumstances, this paper first analyzes the requirements for developing public safety technology in LTE-R, and compares those requirements with the functions of public safety LTE (PS-LTE), which is being deployed for the first time in the world by the South Korean government. Based on an analysis of the common and specific functions of LTE-R and PS-LTE, we conclude that there is little problem in integrating LTE-R and PS-LTE from the perspective of functionality. Second, this paper provides a comparison of the LTE-R requirements for the Quality of Service (QoS) with those of GSM-R utilized by the ETCS. This offers a guideline to allow LTE-R to be applied to a 500km/h train control system.

철도통신기능은 안전한 열차 운행을 위한 운영자간의 통신 기능과 열차제어를 위한 데이터 전송 기능으로 분류된다. 관련 기술은 2004년 영업 운전을 시작한 유럽의 GSM-R이 가장 대표적인 철도통신 기술로 주어진다. 국내의 경우, 국가재난망에서 임대한 TRS가 철도 운영자간의 통신 기능으로 사용되고 있지만, 열차제어용 데이터 통신은 적용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 2014년 국내의 LTE 기술을 이용한 LTE-R의 개발이 세계 최초로 철도에 적용하여 성능 검증 및 국내 표준 제정에 성공하였다. 이를 응용한 LTE 기반의 국가재난안전망(PS-LTE)도 2016년 시범구축사업이 강원도에서 성공적으로 완료되었다. 본 논문은 철도통신의 핵심인 LTE-R의 통신기능과 데이터 전송 기능을 PS-LTE와 GSM-R의 기능과 비교, 검토하였다. 검토 결과는 LTE-R의 데이터 전송 기능이 GSM-R의 기능보다 우수함은 물론 철도통신기술은 PS-LTE의 요구 기능도 대부분 만족함을 시험을 통해 입증하였다.
